The article discusses the specifics of female entrepreneurship development in Ukraine along with presenting the author’s original definition of a female entrepreneurship concept. The objective of this study is to identify common characteristics, types and patterns of female entrepreneurship. At this stage of the study, the current state, trends and the development specifics of female entrepreneurship in Ukraine have been explored. The results of statistical data analysis and social research findings have enabled to provide insights on the female entrepreneurship development dynamics in Ukraine, reveal its basic characteristics and forms as well as the key drivers of female entrepreneurial activity and the structure of their motivation, and apart from that, to identify the business areas in which female entrepreneurs are actively engaged. The study also provides strong statistical evidence supporting the statement that female entrepreneurship is a crucial factor that spurs economic growth, job creation, income equality, and contributes to enhancing social stability in the society. In the frameworks of the research agenda, this paper also seeks to explore the fundamental tenets underpinning female-led businesses. In this context, the study presents the assessment results on employment indicators, the degree of company profitability and the pay rate in female-led businesses. The research findings reveal that the core of female entrepreneurship specifics in Ukraine refer to the entrepreneurial motivation of Ukrainian women which differs significantly from male incentives and which makes female entrepreneurship a unique tool in meeting the aspirations of women for their self-actualization in the society. It is argued that female entrepreneurship in Ukraine demonstrates a steady upward trend despite yet relatively low rate of overcoming gender inequality in Ukraine's economy.

This research studies matrimonial property, which is a marital financial right that was not discussed by classical scholars in their books; it is a new, contemporary issue. The problem of this research is that in most contemporary societies, the husband can no longer cover all the household expenses or improve the financial status of the family on his own, which results in the wife's going out for work and contributing to many expenses like the house, car, etc. Spouses may not pay attention to this matrimonial property; however, when marriage is terminated, disputes about it arise. This research offers answers about the concept of matrimonial property and its types; the ruling of this property and how it can be divided. It also elaborates on the definition of matrimonial property and the legality of claiming it. Thus, this research is divided into two sections: the first explains the matrimonial property and its types, and the second clarifies the ruling of the matrimonial property. The paper also includes an introduction and a conclusion that presents the research findings.

Forms Of Violence

In 2018, more homes in the US have pets than those that have children. Though pets are regarded as property by US law, a majority of people identify pets as part of the family unit. Animal abuse and cruelty have been identified as a potential indicator and precursor to interpersonal violence (IPV). Moreover, child maltreatment, domestic violence, elder abuse, and animal abuse co-occur in households and communities link together to indicate the nexus of these heinous crimes; these co-occurring forms of violence have been increasingly referred to as The Link, to indicate the linked violence. However, there is an incongruence in the definition of animal abuse and cruelty; thus, documenting cases, bringing charges, and achieving a conviction is difficult. Furthermore, the initial education to learn of these topics in human service professions, such as social work, remains absent from many curricula. In practice, cross-reporting of suspected abuse or neglect is a vital mechanism for connecting human and animal professionals to address the issues between human and animal welfare systems. This sharing of information can increase the likelihood that clients experiencing IPV will receive comprehensive services that can improve their level of safety and quality of life. By providing professionals with education for indicators of abuse, and strategies for how to make a report, communities can build stronger support networks for those in need. Herein, Ohio legislation and current community efforts serve as a case study to define animal abuse, delineate transdisciplinary factors for relevance, and make recommendations for addressing this vital social welfare need. The strategies within this case-study are encouraged to be adapted and applied nationally and internationally.

Forms Of Violence

Violence has been part of the human history since its very beginning. As some believe, it is “Cain’s sin” that determines violent human behaviour. Though this belief is obviously simplified, it reflects the nature of man. We are eager to seek evil in others, in individuals and in social structures. It is not just the family that is oppressive. Violence is ubiquitous; it is inflicted by peer groups, social classes, organisations, and by the state. Violence is commonly defined as social behaviour against someone or something, the aggressor being on one side and the victim on the other. Usually, a narrow definition of violence is used; i.e., violence is understood as the use of force to obtain from others what they are not willing to give or what they do not want to do. However, violence is a more complex phenomenon. Some forms of violence are sophisticated and difficult to discern, not only in the behaviour of others but also in our own actions. Violence occurs on a micro-scale in the form of pressure, extortion, inducement, or restrictions, and on a macro-scale – as wars, crises, terroristic acts, or revolutions. Violence is not only physical and psychological; it may also be personal, structural, hidden, explicit, emotional, and rational. What follows, it takes place in a wide array of spaces: in culture, sport, politics, the media, in the public space and at home. Therefore, the narrow definition of violence fails to include many of its aspects, and as such it is not practical. Using such a definition, we are left with extreme cases, so in fact we define pathologies. A serious difficulty in defining violence is connected with defining human rights in a unified way. These vary from culture to culture and have been evolving throughout history. Violation of these rights constitutes the essence of what is referred to as violent behaviour. Each society defines and attempts to prevent violence differently, and also in its own way indicates those who judge the perpetrators of prohibited acts.

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the current state of studying resourcefulness among children and families and to propose future research directions. Five domains of studying resourcefulness were discussed in this article; these domains are positive outcomes of being resourceful on family members, definition of resourcefulness, assessments of resourcefulness, factors contributing to children’s resourcefulness, and the programs aimed at increasing resourcefulness. By reviewing findings of the existing studies, this article revealed that resourcefulness is a multifaceted concept that has caused variations in the definitions/emphases from different scholars and the various existing scales testing different facets of the concept. While most of the studies focused on family members, none of them discussed the value of family resourcefulness in their studies. Research findings suggest that both environmental influences and personal characteristics contribute to children’s resourcefulness, which either directly or inexplicitly reflect the notions of family systems theory. Several resourcefulness intervention programs were identified, but these programs were mainly focused on children and socioeconomically disadvantaged families and all serve different purposes. We propose to generate matched programs for either parents or kids to enhance the outcome of these programs in the family settings. Future studies on consolidating the various definitions, scales, and programs on resourcefulness and family resourcefulness, as well as expanding understandings of the internal and external influences that contribute to a family’s resourcefulness from the systemic perspective are needed.

Violence against children is a subject of wide-ranging discussion, which has been gradually taking up more space over the years both in academia and in the media. This qualitative study deals with a literature review of some of the most recurrent forms of violence experienced in childhood: sexual exploitation and abuse, psychological violence, neglect and physical violence. In continuity, we present some possible causes of violence against children, and in conclusion, we point out the consequences of the abuse endured while in childhood. These situations of family violence perpetrated during childhood create afflictions in children and are the origin of childhood and teenage psychopathologies which often remain throughout adult life. Children become psychically ill due to the violence they suffer or witness within the family, seeing as what should be their safe space becomes the captivity in which they must live with the tormentors whom they support, since they are children.

Children’S Exposure

This paper brings new insights and further examines the data obtained from the National Survey of Domestic Violence, which is the most comprehensive source on the prevalence of violence against children in Albania. The aim here is not to duplicate or overlap with the results of the survey but to enshrine subtle elements that characterize the violence against children. The analyses are focused to critically examine the frequency and characteristics of physical violence against children. This includes the calculation of many comparisons between the occurrence of violence and predisposing factors. From the statistical analysis results, it can be seen, that the number of respondents who nominated their respective mothers as offenders represent 70% of the total valid sample followed by their fathers and brothers/sisters with 46% and 38% respectively. It appears that the most frequent and sadly culturally accepted method of physical violence against children is slapping and knuckle beating which resulted in 89% of cases followed by hair tear and pushes by 60%, meanwhile other more extreme forms of violence occur to a lower rate ranging from 0.6% up to 20%. Interestingly the violence against children is predominantly high in Elbasan and Gjirokastra regions with an outstanding prevalence of 91% and 88% respectively. These scientific facts replace the old misconceptions that the domestic violence is more widespread in northern areas of Albania. The research findings reported here are critical to inform our efforts to protect children from children’s exposure to violence.
